As a supporter of American Rivers, I am writing to you to ask you to oppose H.R. 6247, introduced by Rep. Doc Hastings, Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee. This extreme legislation would roll back nearly a century of environmental protections for rivers, block federal funding for conservation groups who exercise their constitutional right to challenge the federal government's decisions, and provide massive taxpayer-funded giveaways to agribusinesses. Plus, it would also increase, not reduce, federal spending and undermine free speech and the rule of law.

Jim Gibbons: Don't abuse your disabled workers by paying them grossly low wages. It's time that you pay all of your employees a fair wage and not just those at the top!

In the wake of the UCC shooting in Roseburg and the ongoing national crisis of gun violence, Oregonians demand change and accountability. We demand that Senate Bill 941, requiring background checks for private firearm sales, be immediately enforced at every level and supported with appropriate resources. We demand that local officials, such as Roseburg's own Sheriff Hanlin, be held accountable by the state for not enforcing this and other democratically-enacted regulations, due to their personal beliefs. In addition, we demand stronger policies to prevent gun violence and modernize our weapon laws, potentially including: -Central registration of all firearm owners and their weapons, and coordination of this data with criminal, mental health, and domestic abuse records at both the state and federal level. -Enactment of a 28-day waiting period on all firearm purchases. -Institution of a license requirement to possess or purchase a firearm, with obtainment of a license requiring a gun safety course, an evaluation of personal history and mental well-being, and a thorough background check. -Requirement of a license to buy, sell, or transfer a firearm and ammunition, including through registered weapons dealers, private sales, individual transfers, and family transfers. -Require that weapons be stored unloaded, in a gun safe, with a trigger lock. Possession of these safeguards should be necessary to obtain a firearm license. -Render concealed carry illegal, and ban the open carry of a loaded firearm. -Restrict ownership of automatic weapons, semi-automatic weapons, and handguns to existing owners and require their storage at a licensed gun range. -Ban any clip or magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds.
